presented in May 2012, Samsung the world a smartphone that, more than two years later, the most widely used Android device today: The Galaxy S3, internally referred to as the i9300, had sold in the first year after its release 50 million times and is in retrospect the best ever model of the Galaxy series. Neither with the following Galaxy S4 even with the current Galaxy S5 Koreans could put such a milestone in the Android universe again. What the S3 as well doing and why I harbor passionate feelings for the 4.8-incher today – a tribute
Over two years I had owned the Samsung Galaxy S, which in my time. had i900 Omnia replaced, introduced me to the Android world and virtually rejected me so the way to the editor in this subject field. The Galaxy S was my iPhone. My first smartphone with a functioning, capacitive touch screen, my first base for mass App and Mobile Games- installations
It had been two years, who had been fun, the end out but were always tough and jerky. And so I sat in May 2012 in London at the launch of new Galaxy S3, which I knew in advance that it could be my next vehicle to travel around the mobile world …
love with obstacles
weeks before HTC had unveiled at the MWC with the One X is an interesting alternative to the then not yet official S3 – and I was looking forward to Samsung’s answer. The evening of May 3, 2012 When the Koreans ventilated curtain at London’s Earl’s Court, I was initially a little disappointed: The pseudo-organic design that should somehow remember pebbles or something, in my opinion, disguised only that Samsung again polycarbonate had used in the basest way possible and not built really nice smartphone in the result; HTC’s One X definitely looked better.
However, I decided – perhaps from brand loyalty, rather but because of the AMOLED display and microSD card slots for the Galaxy S3 and against the One X. On June 7 of that year, I thought, as if birthday gift, the 4.8-incher then in hands. And was disappointed after a few days again: Probably due to a production error recorded already after a short use clear micro-scratches on the Gorilla Glass 2 Screen from – until a much later replacement of the device, this shortcoming should do
.
The intrinsic values confident
The S3 mutant for me in the time I spent with him, never a beauty, but I got used to the strange shape and its cheap appearance – despite it with 133 grams was also relatively heavy. And finally it was then his inner values that seduced me
because technically the S3 convinced me in the following months, all along the line. 720p AMOLED screen, which at a screen size of 4.8 inches performing well by today’s standards completely satisfactory 306 ppi, offered in comparison to the smartphone Genration before, a completely new, fantastic experience mobile content.
The built tetranuclear Exynos 4412 chipset with Mali 400 GPU allowed the liquid play former high-end titles, the space for 720p videos and movies was virtually unlimited thanks to microSD slot. The 2,100 mAh battery carried me loose throughout the day; but as he was replaceable, I added it later to an additional unit of a third party with 2,400 mAh capacity – the S3 was the perfect smartphone for a geek like me
And this camera:. 8 MP were then no longer absolute top class, but the photos were shot the S3, beyond any doubt – I remember a holiday in Portugal, where a friend was equipped with an expensive camera. She regularly stretched frustrated the weapons before the results that my Galaxy S3 – thanks to the already rolled out as HDR mode – produced for comparison photos. My current Nexus 5 is because until now not ran.
The Galaxy S3 has made me happy – it did for me many years after its market launch, the best Android smartphone on the market. That’s why I was interested in private also a year later presented Galaxy S4 not particularly whose purchase I have not considered one second.
The only HTCs One led me in 2013 briefly tempted, because the promised his beguiling exterior needs to satisfy, which always had the S3 unfulfilled. But it could not compete with in terms of battery life, and especially because of the lack of microSD slot, which the i9300 offered me daily -. Beauty fades, remain battery life and memory
The better Galaxy mini
Superseded was the S3 then with me hence only in autumn 2013 by Nexus 5 – and really only because the price of the Google smartphone was so insanely good for the offered technology. I was the S3 at this time not get enough, I did not want necessarily a new smartphone; I just felt the need to move with the times
Today I miss the S3 often enough -. especially its duration and the possibility to easily transfer via microSD card content on the smartphone. I find solace in the fact that I have the device recently bequeathed a friend who was looking for an entry into the smartphone world and to this day it would be from the first day of use at about the i9300, as I did from 2012 to 2013. ‘ / p>
The fact that neither the Galaxy S4 or S5, the Galaxy were able to achieve the effect of S3, of course, is, however, also in the development of the industry: The step of the prevailing to date display resolutions to 720p HD was in a positive sense drastic and noticeable than the later evolution to full HD, or even WQHD. The Exynos 4412 was on time powerful enough to satisfy many users to this day, while the performance leaps current Snapdragon 800er- and K1-processors are more and more theoretical nature for many
. As the S3 appeared, it was not quite so much as now, to the look of Android phones. The S3 marked the Starting the Android smartphones as a serious alternative to the iPhone or Smartphone as a real option for the masses – the S4 and S5 built on its laurels, however, only on
And when I look. the whole mini-models of the past few months and look at most, then I wonder why anyone would resort to these overpriced deceptive where there but the great Galaxy S3 still as new are for much smaller price. In any case I often wonder enough, again zuzulegen pure nostalgia one. And one thing is certain: My Nexus 5 remains even after its withdrawal as a memento for me
